Summary: Preferences fooling

In re: changing DxOffset, DyOffset for overscan displays:

	This is a rather nitpicky point, but it is even not
necessary to use SetPrefs() to move the Intuition View when you
want to use overscan; just adjust your overscan coordinates
appropriately to the values you get with GetPrefs.  This might
break if the user runs Preferences and moves the screen in the
middle of your program, but you could catch that with a NEWPREFS
message and anyway that is highly unlikely.  Still, I feel it is
better to avoid changing the user's overscan settings "for him";
just as easy to do the arithmetic.
